Gloria A. Huh, Ph.D.
PSYCHOLOGIST & COACH
It’s not you.
But it starts with you.
Bringing back the parts of you that have been lost along the way.
Group coaching for BIPOC clinicians and Asian American adults ready to unlearn inherited expectations, reclaim their voices, and show up more fully in the relationships that matter.
We work hard at the wrong things.
It’s not an individual failing but an accumulation of trauma and stress.
We attached and learned from traumatized people in trauma.
We collected lies, hidden shame, that we fear are true.
They make us dull ourselves and hide behind our credentials, and fail to interest our ideal clients and retain them.
If you want to change this, an absolute must for BIPOC professional and personal development is to weed out the lies.
That’s where I come in.
You’ve been working hard to fix yourself. But you were never the problem.
You learned how to read the room before reading yourself. How to become acceptable before becoming known. How to hide the parts of you that felt too emotional, too complicated, too cultural, or simply too much.
These adaptations helped you stay connected and survive systems that weren’t built to hold your full humanity. But now they may be keeping you from the relationships, confidence, and freedom you want.
You don’t need to become someone better. You need to uncover who you were before you learned to disappear.
I help BIPOC clinicians and Asian American adults unlearn who they were told to be, heal what they inherited, and build relationships rooted in authenticity, safety, and repair.
For BIPOC therapists: Practice without disappearing
Become Your Confident and Genuine Self to Attract and Retain the Clients You ant
You’ve been trained to be competent, composed, and “professional”—but too often, professionalism has meant conforming to white norms and leaving parts of yourself outside the therapy room.
This work helps you confront the inherited shame and systemic conditioning shaping how you practice, so you can stop hiding behind your credentials, trust your clinical voice, and build deeper relationships with the clients you’re meant to serve.
GROUP COACHING
Become more of yourself–not more acceptable to everyone else.
For Asian American adults
Repair the relationship without abandoning yourself
You love your parents—or want to—but criticism, guilt, and old family roles keep pulling you into the same painful conflicts.
This work helps you understand what you inherited, find your voice, and set boundaries that protect you without automatically cutting off the relationship. You’ll learn to relate to your parents as the adult you are now—not the child still fighting to be understood.
